Prince of the Qing Dynasty

After hearing Kangxi's words, Empress Dowager Renxian swallowed back what she wanted to say when she looked at Kangxi's expression.

She felt that Zhang Fengyang's matter was very sudden, because she didn't notice any rumors beforehand. In her opinion, Zhang Fengyang was a very clever servant, and she was also the most convenient servant besides Niya.However, Empress Dowager Renxian didn't understand at all, how could such a sensible and intelligent servant dare to do such a bold and reckless thing?

It was a few days ago that I learned that Zhang Fengyang was executed by Prince Kang.When Empress Dowager Renxian got the news, it was a little later than Kangxi.

Regarding the reaction to this news, Empress Dowager Renxian and Kangxi were completely different.Empress Dowager Renxian was still thinking at the time whether this matter was a mistake, or that Prince Kang had wronged Zhang Fengyang. Later, Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to tell her what happened to Zhang Fengyang. Only then did Empress Dowager Renxian know that Zhang Fengyang was wronged. He has actually done such daring and reckless things.

Later, after her maid Niya told the truth, Empress Dowager Renxian found out that it was because of her dependence on and doting on Zhang Fengyang that made Zhang Fengyang more and more courageous. I did it together with those old people who I knew when I was on the errands of Prince Kang. Although those people are slaves, they can see the sky with their hands and eyes, so they naturally started to do evil.

After hearing what Niya said, Empress Dowager Renxian was very annoyed by Zhang Fengyang. There was no other reason, but because Zhang Fengyang was so bold that when he did these things, he acted outside under the banner of Empress Renxian. Therefore, It also ruined the reputation of Empress Dowager Renxian. Now that Zhang Fengyang has been executed, Empress Dowager Renxian's innocence can be saved, which is a good thing for her.

However, for some reason, Zhang Fengyang's actions involved the crown prince again.When the Empress Dowager Renxian heard these rumors, she didn't believe that the crown prince would do such a thing with Yinreng. When Zhang Fengyang was still by her side, Yinreng was very indifferent to Zhang Fengyang. Would you collude with an eunuch to do such a thing?

Empress Dowager Renxian wanted to intercede for Yinreng, especially since she noticed the subtle changes between Yinreng and the emperor. It seemed that since the emperor came back after destroying Galdan, his attitude towards Yinreng was slowly changing. The Empress Dowager Renxian just realized that if it had changed from the past, the emperor would definitely clear up Yinreng's suspicion and thoroughly investigate it. Why didn't he come forward to protect the prince now? , Just one sentence, don't pursue it anymore, let this matter go away!

Empress Dowager Renxian looked at Kangxi silently, thinking, the emperor blamed her for being too indulgent, it was her responsibility, she admitted it.However, Yinreng was wronged by this incident, and she also felt sorry for Yinreng, but looking at the current situation, once Zhang Fengyang's incident happened, the emperor must be very dissatisfied with her. Her situation is really not good Intercede for the prince.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Renxian swallowed back what she was about to say.

However, when she sat with Kangxi, she couldn't help thinking of the expectations and entrustments of the Empress Dowager.At the beginning, the Empress Dowager insisted on asking her to take care of the crown prince, hoping that the crown prince would become her reliance in the future. Later, as expected, the crown prince had indeed been close to her for so many years, but, thinking about it, could it be that she Can't he become the crown prince's reliance?

Didn't the empress dowager also hope that if there was any problem between the emperor and the prince, she would be able to mediate and resolve it?

When Empress Dowager Renxian thought of this, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Although she can't go now, she can go with someone else.Moreover, the person she had thought of would only hold more weight in the emperor's heart than her, never less than her.

For now, I just need to tell that person what I mean.

The person that Empress Dowager Renxian thought of was Lagu Su Ma, who once served the Empress Dowager.

After a month of Kangxi's southern tour, he received news from the palace, saying that Aunt Su Ma was seriously ill but refused to use medicine. Kangxi knew.Kangxi immediately sent a letter, asking the imperial doctor to do everything possible to make Aunt Su Ma take medicine, but La Aunt Su Ma just refused.

After reading the letter Kangxi wrote to her, Aunt Su Ma returned a letter to Kangxi while dragging her sick body.

——The emperor knows that slaves never take medicine.The servants would not take the medicine that the emperor sent to the servants from the south.Even if the emperor said that it was a grass root, the servant would not eat it if he used it to soak water and drink it to heal his illness.I also ask the emperor not to send medicine to the slave again. If the slave gets better by luck, it is the slave's good fortune. If the slave does not recover, it is also the slave's fate. The slave does not blame anyone.

Although Aunt Su Ma claimed to be a slave, her tone was proud and self-willed.There is only one central idea in the letter, that is, even if the emperor comes to persuade her, she will never take medicine.

After Kangxi received the letter, he couldn't help but smiled wryly at Liang Jiugong: "Aunt Su Ma is still so stubborn. I remember that when the Empress Dowager was here, she happened to be ill. The Empress Dowager advised her to take medicine, but she refused Yes. I didn't expect her to be so ill now, and I advised her to take medicine, but she still refused."

Kangxi knew that since La Aunt Su Ma fell ill, he was not the only one who persuaded La Aunt Su Ma. , Unfortunately, it is of no use at all.Aunt Su Ma became annoyed at being persuaded for a while, and scolded the imperial doctor and the people who served her away.The brothers and the crown prince were not scolded, but Lagu Su Ma was not polite. According to the letters from the brothers, La Gu Su Ma reprimanded them very strongly, and she was determined not to take medicine.

Seeing Kangxi's distress, Liang Jiugong said, "Why don't you persuade Auntie Su Ma again? This time Auntie Su Ma is so seriously ill, how can I do without taking medicine?"

"It's useless for me to persuade her any more. La Aunt Su Ma is getting old, and she will always be sick like this. I can't always let her go." Kangxi thought about it, and said, "Liang Jiugong, go and pass on my oral order. Let's set off for Beijing tomorrow."

Kangxi paused, and then said, "If there is something wrong with Aunt Su Ma this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the Empress Dowager in the future. The Empress Dowager has instructed me, and I can't ignore it."

"Your Majesty is not going to Suzhou?" Liang Jiugong asked in surprise, "But Your Majesty, everything has been prepared there, and we are just waiting to pick you up!"

Kangxi's itinerary has been confirmed, Liang Jiugong never expected that Kangxi would go back to the palace first because of Lagu Su Ma's illness.

"I won't go," Kangxi obviously made up his mind, "Go back to the palace to see Aunt Su Ma. I'll wait until I'm free, and then go to Suzhou. Just come out this time. He Gongzhen has seen it before, so it can be regarded as It's a matter of my heart."

Kangxi said so, Liang Jiugong naturally had to find a partner.So, Kangxi led the crowd back to the capital after a month of southern tour.

Back in the palace, Kangxi was concerned about La Aunt Su Ma's illness, and after a short rest, he went to La Aunt Su Ma's residence.

Not seeing each other for more than a month, coupled with the torture of illness, Aunt Su Ma was much thinner than the old man in Kangxi's memory.

Seeing Kangxi coming, Aunt Su Ma struggled from the sick bed to get up to salute Kangxi, but was stopped by Kangxi, who only let La Aunt Su Ma lie on the couch without getting up.

After Kangxi sat down, Aunt Su Ma still refused to lie down, and struggled to sit up by herself, leaning against the bedpost and talking to Kangxi slowly.

"The emperor came to see the servant, thinking about the illness of the servant, it is the blessing of the servant, but the emperor knows the habits of the servant, and the servant will never take medicine." Aunt Su Ma was very grateful to Kangxi for stopping the southern tour to see her However, even so, she still did not change her own principles, she still had a heart that would rather die than take medicine, she took a rest, and then said, "It's just that the life of a slave is worthless, but because of The servant's illness has delayed the emperor's southern tour, and it is all the servant's fault."

"It's all right. Originally, I have done all the things that should be done on this southern tour, and the rest are irrelevant things. If I don't do it this time, it will be the same next time," Kangxi said. "In my heart, Mammy's illness is more important than the southern tour. If Mammy has something wrong, how can I explain it to the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager entrusted Mammy to me at the beginning."

La Aunt Su Ma was moved when she heard Kangxi's words, but she had sworn that she would never take medicine for life, so even though Kangxi said so, she still refused to let go, and felt that it was not an option to continue entanglement like this, and she did not want to let go. Haotai dismissed Kangxi's meaning, and then thought of saying something else to distract Kangxi's attention.

When La Aunt Su Ma thought about it, she just remembered the matter that the Empress Dowager Renxian entrusted her to intercede for the crown prince.A few days ago when she was not ill, she received a letter from Empress Dowager Renxian. At that time, she had this matter in her heart. She didn't speak because Kangxi was on a tour to the south, so she didn't open it. Now she is ill. Well, Kangxi came to see her again for her return to Beijing, Aunt Su Ma thought, or, the emperor could still listen to her own words?

Aunt Su Ma wanted to say a few words for the crown prince.After all, these days, no one really spoke to the emperor for the crown prince.Thinking about it now, besides the empress dowager, I am afraid that I am the only one who can speak in front of Kangxi because of the crown prince's affairs.

Aunt Su Ma thought of this, and said, "Actually, these days, the emperor is not in the palace, but he often sends his elder brothers to visit his servants. The elder brothers come here frequently, but the crown prince is the most diligent one. The crown prince Accompanying the servant, talking to the servant, and persuading the servant to take medicine, but the servant looked on coldly, the crown prince is also very thin! I heard that the crown prince is bored in Yuqing Palace all day long, and rarely comes out to move around, your majesty When you come back this time, don't you plan to visit the Crown Prince?"

As soon as Aunt Su Ma mentioned Yinfeng, Kangxi's eyes became colder: "I have returned to the palace, and it should be the crown prince who came to greet me."
